The last analyses explored the association between coping styles and concurrent levels of perceived stress.
A multiple model was estimated to test the hypothesis that higher levels of task coping would be inversely associated with Perceived Stress, and that higher levels of emotion and avoidance coping would be positively related to perceived stress.
Regression results indicated that the overall model significantly predicted concurrent perceived stress.
A summary of the regression coefficients is presented in Table 3, and indicates that as hypothesized, decreased concurrent perceived stress was predicted by higher task coping and lower emotion coping.
Avoidance coping was not related to concurrent perceived stress.
